  3. INSPECT SPARK PLUG 
    NOTE:
    • When replacing a spark plug, make sure to use the designated spark plug because an ion current type misfire detection system is used for the spark plug.
    • Do not damage the platinum tip. If the spark plug has been dropped, make sure to replace it with a designated new spark plug.
    • Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
    • Do not attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.
    • Make sure to use SST to check gaps, preventing the platinum tip from being damaged.
    • If damaged, replace it with a designated new spark plug.
    1. Check the electrode using a Megohmmeter:
      GTY710289Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Ground
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Insulation Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Spark plug (terminal part) - Body ground Always 10 MΩ or higher

        HINT: 

        • If the result is not as specified, clean the spark plug with a spark plug cleaner and measure the resistance again.
        • If a Megohmmeter is not available, perform the following simple inspection instead.
    2. Alternative inspection method:
      1. Quickly accelerate the engine to 4000 RPM 5 times.
      2. Remove the spark plug (Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] ).
      3. Visually check the spark plug.
        GTY387515Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

        If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is functioning properly. If the electrode is damp, proceed to the next step.

        HINT: 

        If a Megohmmeter is not available, perform the following simple inspection instead.

      4. Install the spark plug (Refer to INSTALLATION [06/2016 - ] ).
    3. Check the spark plug for any damage to its threads and insulator.

      HINT: 

      If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.

      Recommended Spark Plug

      Manufacturer Product
      DENSO made ZXE27HBR8
    4. Reference:
      1. Using SST, check the spark plug electrode gap.
        GTY388149Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

        *a Spark Plug Electrode Gap
        • SST: 09240-00020 

        Maximum electrode gap for a used spark plug

        1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

        If the gap exceeds the maximum, replace the spark plug.

        NOTE:

        Never attempt to adjust the gap of a used plug.

        Electrode gap for a new spark plug

        0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.0276 to 0.0315 in.)

    5. Clean the spark plugs.

      If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, clean the electrode with a spark plug cleaner and then dry it.

      Standard air pressure

      588 kPa (6.0 kgf/cm2 , 85 psi)

      Standard duration

      20 seconds or less

      HINT: 

      Only use a spark plug cleaner when the electrode is free of oil. If the electrode has traces of oil, use gasoline to clean off the oil before using the spark plug cleaner.
